Import and Export

Purpose

SAP component Basic Data and Tools supports first database as well as data import and export in productive systems. You can transfer data between the following system configurations:

  • Between two SAP systems

  • Between an SAP system and an external system

You can import and export the following data:

  • Sources

  • Phrases

  • Specifications (including dangerous goods data)

  • Property trees

  • Report templates

  • Reports (Inbound Documents (IBD)

    Example Example

    You can export phrases in the original language, translate them in an external system, and then import them to the SAP system.

    You use exchange profiles to define the transfer parameters used to control data exchange.

    For specification export, you can use phrase references in the legally valid phrase library to adapt your current phrase library that you use for substance characteristic value assignment so that the exported substance characteristic values correspond to the legal requirements of the EU, for example.

    For specification import, on the other hand, the SAP system enables you to merge imported passive phrases from the value assignment into the active phrase library.

    End of the example.
